GOtv Boxing 16: Ghana’s Lamptey vows to demolish ‘Real One’

Crack Ghanaian boxer, Benjamin Lamptey, has vowed to demolish Nigeria’s Rilwan “Real One” Oladosu and end his winning run when they clash for the West African Boxing Union (WABU) lightweight title at GOtv Boxing Night 16 on October 14.

The title bout is one of the two international contests scheduled for the event, which holds at the Indoor Sports Hall of the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos.

Speaking from Accra on Sunday, Lamptey, said he has enough skill in his locker to end his Nigerian opponent’s winning streak and return to Ghana with the title.

“I’m looking forward to this fight, which offers me a great opportunity to show Ghana’s greatness. I am coming to defeat Rilwan and take the title to Ghana,” bragged Lamptey.

He added that he is familiar with his opponent’s strengths and weaknesses and claimed he has fought better boxers in Ghana and elsewhere.

“I have seen in fight. I know all about him. Rilwan has no chance of winning,” he said
